How It Works

Three Steps to Full Jira Automation

From install to automation in seconds

No configuration files, no build steps, no API wrappers. Just one command and your AI agent has full Jira & Confluence access.

Install with one command

Add the MCP server to Claude Code or any MCP-compatible agent with a single command. No build step required.

Agent discovers 116 tools

The MCP protocol automatically exposes all available tools — issues, sprints, boards, Confluence pages, bulk operations, and more.

Ask in natural language

"Show me all in-progress issues assigned to me" — the agent selects the right tool, builds the JQL, and returns structured results.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that lets AI agents discover and use tools. JiraMCP implements this protocol to expose 116 Jira and Confluence operations that any MCP-compatible agent can call.

Does it work with Claude Code?

Yes. One command: claude mcp add jira -- env JIRA_URL=... JIRA_EMAIL=... JIRA_API_KEY=... npx -y @bodywave/jira-mcp. Claude immediately discovers all 116 tools.

Do I need separate Confluence credentials?

No. Confluence shares the same Atlassian domain and API credentials as Jira. If you can access Jira, you can access Confluence — no extra environment variables needed.

Is it open source?

Yes. JiraMCP is MIT licensed and available on GitHub. Free for personal and commercial use.

How does rate limiting work?

JiraMCP includes built-in rate limiting with exponential backoff and jitter. It automatically retries on 429 (Too Many Requests) and 5xx errors, respects Retry-After headers, and queues requests to prevent overloading the Jira API.

Can I use multiple Jira accounts?

Yes. Configure multiple MCP server instances with different credentials, or use the runtime account management tools (jira_add_account, jira_switch_account) to add and switch between accounts during a session.
